Wikipedians under influence
The wikibox was a joke from Analogdemon. It's the {{DUI}} template. --hdante 06:34, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
Manifold
Ha! Well put by the previous two comments! But don't you know, precalc is what you study after prealgebra, before you get to prenumbertheory and preriemanniangeometry. you definitely need a little preriemanniangeomerty to understand manifolds. was great.

The Mother Functor
Still intrigued by your nick, I thought about the most basic functor of them all, the "Mother Functor". And I believe it is the functor that appears in
- Thanks for the comment, I had to think about this a while, so excuse the relay lag. Yes, the Hom functor seems to be the mother functor. I'm still learning about this stuff, though. A more playful answer, perhaps, could be that analogy is the mother functor. Analogies map objects to objects (thus the simile), and also map predicates to predicates, (thus the isto/as/isto analogy). This is functorial if we consider predicates to be arrows between objects in a system. How "motherly" you consider this functor depends on how primitive or fundamental you think the analogy is. (If you'll excuse me going a little too far with the pun), I'm interested in the model where analogy gives birth to knowledge. (This idea, nascent in my mind, is forming as I attend a class of Donna Haraway's). Thanks for asking! MotherFunctor 05:16, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
Sorry about that, I should have discussed it on your talk page first. A visiable email on your page does allow for the email address to be harvested by spammers. --Salix alba (talk) 08:03, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
